LOVE YOU ALWAYS – TALK WITH LAURA LEONELLI
8 November All day
They love the sea, they love their mates, they love their girlfriends and wives, and for a few hours they also love the women they meet in ports around the world. They are sailors, and one of them, an American boy with a sparkling uniform and a sincere smile, wrote “Love you always” on his portrait.
With her talk “Love you always”, Laura Leonelli leads us into a journey through photography and myth: a story that is developed through one hundred anonymous European and American images, from 1860 to 1960, bringing to life one of the most legendary and fascinating figures of Western culture; the sailor.
